Tmobile 5g home internet + Xbox Series X not compatible
Thanks to T-Mobile's Test Drive, I can try out the home internet for 15days. I'm getting good speeds and so far so good… I was really happy with the service until……… It's not compatible with my Xbox Series X. Apps like YouTube, Twitch, Hulu all work. But if I want to play games online, that's where it doesnt work. I get disconnected from the games respective servers. Doing a test on the network I get UPnP unavailable. I can retest until the UPnP is available but as soon as I start playing a game online, it disconnects. I see that I can attempt to connect a wireless router but I cannot control any settings on the App or if I log into router via a web browser. The only thing I can do is change names and passwords, but nothing else. Can a wireless router be connected to the gateway? If so, which brands will work best? There are other posts about this issue but no answer. I hope there is a solution or else the home internet goes back to T-Mobile and they will lose out on $50/month.
No Port Forwarding, no UPnP, when will this be resolved?
Searching the forums this has been a problem since tmobile home internet was launched. Several Closed topics indicate customers received feedback from tmobile that "is aware and working on a solution." Those same threads are 11 months old. When, if ever, will tmobile address the lack of UPnP, which limits functionality for most games and other streaming devices by resolving this or adding port forwarding capabilities?
